The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival returns March 4 running through May 17! In addition to the meticulous (and amazing) topiaries eleven outdoor kitchens with “grow your own” gardens will serve sweet and savory bites. The festival is certainly a feast for the eyes and palate!

Here’s what you can expect to see and taste at Epcot this spring.

  • “Frozen” strikes again! (Yay!) Disney’s first Anna and Elsa topiaries will appear in a garden vignette.

  • Fresh new menu items will debut including the new Botanas Botánico Outdoor Kitchen between France and Morocco pavilions. Here you will find treats such as Cachapas with Farmer’s Cheese – a sweet yellow corn pancake, and Seafood Ceviche with shrimp, scallops and grouper with mango and avocado.

  • Sip the new La Tizana, a non-alcoholic punch finished with fresh fruit that can become an adult beverage with a splash of Santa Teresa RHUM Orange Liqueur.
  • Enjoy new offerings like the “Naanwich” with Arugula Pesto and oven dried tomatoes at the Urban Farm Eats Outdoor Kitchen. Or enjoy returning favorites like the Piggylicious Bacon Cupcake with maple frosting and pretzel crunch – my favorite taste from last year!
